Saving Data on the Hard Drive

EASY CPU allows you to save system configurations on your hard drive. You can do this either before or after transferring new configurations to the MegaPower CPU. However, any configuration you save to your hard drive must be transferred (written) from the hard drive to the CPU before it will take effect in the system.

To save configuration data on your hard drive:

1.Click File on the main screen.

2.Click Save in the dropdown menu bar if you are planning to overwrite the existing file or Save As if you are planning to create a new file.

3.If Save As, navigate through the Save As dialog to a desired folder and enter a file name.

4.Click Save to save and close the file.
